Roger,
How come no-one before mentioned trouble loading on p75 or 586/133 before?
What OS are you using?
Steve,
Have you tried checking "use bootp" in the external dialer setup yet?
(I got a load error due to insufficient memory with 1.60, bootp was the
solution)
(if the package driver loads, modem and port settings must be good)
Bart
